Temporary Employee Parking INTRODUCTIO14 Vail Associates, Inc. has applied for approval to allow temporary parking for employees of Vail Associates/ Beaver Crook Transit on Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. The lot consists of 1.Ot acres and is zoned Town Center. The applicant has provided ietters of explanation and a letter of agreement from the property owner. This request is for the duration of the 1989-1990 ski season only. A similar request was approved for this use last year. STAFF COMMENTS The present zoning code does not address the use of vacant lots as temporary parking areas. The Planning and Zoning Commission has utilized the following guidelines to evaluate previous requests of this nature: Existing or proposed access to site from existing streets. STAFF RESPONSE: Vail Associates is proposing a one-way circulation plan for this site. Traffic will access the site at the eastern end and will exit the site at the western end of the property. This plan has been reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department, subject to the issuance of a right-of- way permit. 2. Number of narking spaces proposed and impact upon traffic flow. STAFF RESPONSE: The applicant has indicated that, although the site could park 75 to 100 cars, they expect no more than 50 at any given time. This number should present acceptable impacts upon existing traffic. 3. Drainage from the site and possible impact on potable water supply. STAFF RESPONSE: The applicant has proposed an adequate drainage plan. Technical specifications for culverts and ditch size will be determined when the applicant applies for a right-of-way permit. 4. Site surfacing and possibility of excess debris and mud being tracked onto streets and highways. STAFF RESPONSE: The applicant has proposed to gravel the lot to ensure that mud is not tracked onto the road. 0" STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 21, 1989 Page 2 of 3 Lot 61, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Vail Associates, Inc.

STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION November 21, 1989 Lot 25, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Wildridge Townhouses, 4-Plex Design Review INTRODUCTION This application is for four attached townhouse units on Lot 25, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision. The lot contains 32,234.4 square feet (.74 acre), carries four (4) develpoment rights and slopes upward relatively gently to the northeast. Existing vegetation consists of scrub and sage brush. Access to the site will be from June Creek Trail. Although the driveway slope approaches 10% there is a 4% platform from existing edge of pavement to the right-of-way line that meets Town engineering standards. Driveway width at the street is 20 feet. Adequate snow storage areas have been identified and site drainage appears adequately designed. Setbacks, site coverage, usable open space and parking requirements all meet or exceed Town of Avon standards. The project sign has not been designed and is not a part of this review. A trash storage area has not been identified. The landscape plan supplements existing vegetation with additional junipers and cottonwoods. Ail sage and scrub oak in disturbed areas will be transplanted within the site. Construction disturbance will be controlled by use of fencing during the building period. There is some retaining wall required in the guest parking area. Site lighting and irrigation details have not been submitted. The building consists of four (4) units of approximately 2200 square feet of gross floor area each, for a total gross square footage of approximately 8800 square feet. Building height, according to Town of Avon definition, is 33.9 feet, which is within Town standards. STAFF COMMENTS The Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of a proposed project: 6.11 - The conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable rules and regulations of the Town of Avon. COMMENT: The project, as designed, is in conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable rules Staff Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission November 21, 1989 Page 2 of 4 Lot 25, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision Wildridge Townhouses, 4-Plex Design Review and regulations. 6.12 - The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located. COMMENT: The type and quality of materials are compatible with structures in the vicinity. The primary building material is stucco. There is also some 1 x 4 cedar siding used. The windows are white clad and roof material is cedar shingles. 6.13 - The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties. COMMENT: The property is a corner lot, and private property abuts only two sides of the parcel. Although parking areas encroach into the side setback, the design appears not to adversly impact adjacent properties. 6.14 - The compatibility of proposed improvement with site topography. COMMENT: Alteration of topography has been minimized by stepping the building levels as the grade increases to the north. 6.15 - The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways. COMMENT: The visual appearance does not appear to present any deleterious effects on adjacent properties. 6.16 - The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
